Smacking: An 'acceptable' form of child abuse - United Kingdom

Chris Engel 3/16/139:19 PM

"The Secretary of State for Justice, Chris Grayling, has betrayed millions of vulnerable and innocent children in the United Kingdom by declaring that smacking young children "sends a message"....

"With those running the country justifying and encouraging chastisement, what hope is there for our precious, vulnerable future generations growing up in homes where it is perfectly "normal and acceptable" to be hit by those who are meant to unconditionally love, care and protect them?"
